A school-age child has died from a rare complication of measles contracted in infancy, Los Angeles County health officials said Thursday.
The child, who had been too young to be vaccinated when they were infected by the virus, died of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, according to the county health department. The incurable disorder causes progressive brain damage and is nearly universally fatal.
About 1 in 10,000 people who get measles develops the disorder, but the risk is 1 in 600 for infants.
the highly concentrated wealthy areas are ground zero. and the anti-vax movement was born in high end liberal households. this is GOOP central. this is where the problem began. and rich people with just the wrong amount of information are why it’s been happening for so long. rich people don’t learn shit, man. they can’t be taught. if you don’t make them feel like a very special and smart person for knowing the secret that the umbrella is why it rains, they don’t even hear you talk.
it kinda started with jenny mccarthny in the early 2000s and then it bloomed from there to “left leaning groups” suddenly the covid made them all switch political parties out of convenience. Also funny in the midwest it also includes “chronic lyme disease” which isnt a recognized disorder(all fake based on pseudoscience" as the actual disease is treatable, and they also buy into the anti-vax movement as well.
